     Charles Gerard Farrugia was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle on 17 November 2013: Young at heart, kids welcome, upgraded park By Jill Tucker
When Chuck l'amigiu was a boy in the 1970$, he threw baseball on San Francisco's Portola neighborhood baseball field and flung himself off the swing set on the small playground nearby. He still loved Portola - now Palega — Park, even a time and neglect took their toll. When the neighborhood around the park went through hard times in the 1990s, Farrugia refused to leave and instead bought a house two blocks from his child hood home, believing that someday things would get better.
Saturday was someday. Farrugia with his two young children and his 76-year-old mom, beamed as he surveyed the $21 million in upgrades to his old park at the reopening of the playing fields and Palega recreation center. "This park was forgotten," Farrugia said as children pumped their legs on the new swings and ran around the squishy rubber playground mats meant to break falls and protect little knees. Farrugia was itching to play too. "I can't wait until the crowd disappears and I can go on the baseball field and play." he said. "I'm a kid at heart' Hundreds of kids and kids at heart showed up with Farrugia around 9 AM to shoot hoops on the gleaming indoor court. The nets were so new that balls sometimes got stuck. He planned to spend at least two hours every day making sure the nets get a good deal of use, he said. 1 "I've been waiting two year»," CJ. said, comparing the new center wrh the old one. "The gym just got too old." The renovaton upgraded the site but retained the gym's 1920s bleachers, windows and lighting fixtures. The improved center also includes table tennis, martial arts mats and classrooms for art or other activitves. Dozens of families entered the grounds as a clown struggled to keep up with demand for balloon animals and shy toddlers decided whether to have a rainbow or a dragon painted on their faces. City officials were stunned by the huge turnout. "'Are the Beattles here or are we just reopening Palega Playground?" said Phil Ginsberg, general manager of San Francisco Recreation and Park Department. "This is what I'm talking about' said Supervisor Malia Cohen, who grew up four blocks from the center. "I played in this park. It is personal for me today. ”We are finally getting our fair share of the resources this city has to offer.” The renovation was part of the city’s 2008 $185 million parks bond program, with $40,000 in furniture and equipment courtesy of the San Francisco Parks Alliance. He was a Firefighter/E.M.T.
